Page 2 June 11, 2017 Pope Francis Tweet for the Week Let us promote with courage all necessary means to protect the lives of our children. THE INEXPRESSIBLE MYSTERY The God of the universe is mysterious. Science has not been able to solve the mystery of how the universe came into being or explain exactly what continues to give it creative energy and masterful design. No religion asserts that it has found words to name fully the ineffable mystery of God, for no matter what name we use, God always transcends our limited ability to understand. God is a mystery to be believed, not known. And yet, we Christians believe that our name for God best expresses that inexpressible mystery: God is the Most Holy Trinity of three persons united in a communion of love, pouring forth that creative, saving, sanctifying love into the world. Today's scriptures celebrate the mystery of the Trinity and give us clues for living that mystery in our lives. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. ALL NIGHT VIGIL FOR PRIESTS FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 2017 For the last 26 years, on the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, St. Dominic Parish has held an all-night vigil of prayer for the priests of our diocese.

Plug young adults into existing committees, parish council, and leadership roles in the Church. As part of this role, allow us to first present new ideas, and support our new ideas with appropriate volunteers. With prayerful consideration, allow these new ideas to edit some of the parish's long-lived programs or traditions. Be willing to create new committees and new positions that address this new culture. Does the parish have a graphic designer, a social media committee, an online minister, a weekly digital newsletter, a videographer, an app, a blogger, or an adult minister who organizes small groups? Young adults are looking for community small groups, weekly fellowship and food after Mass, and monthly parish-wide social events and service opportunities. We prefer discussions over presentations. As Catholic young adults, we re already overloaded with media and information we re thirsting for conversations with fellow Catholics. And it will be through these conversations that young adults and other parishioners will partner together and care for the Church. ~excerpts from Partnering With Young Adults, by Mark Restaino, Youth Minister at St. Pius X in Lombard.
